Today’s Bible verse – Psalm 16:1 (NKJV)
“Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.”
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
There are days when the air feels heavy. You wake up not knowing what weight will drop next, what news will break, or which quiet fear will creep back in. Sometimes it’s not a loud crisis—it’s the quiet unraveling, the low hum of anxiety, the exhaustion of trying to keep it all together.
That’s exactly where David found himself when he whispered this prayer: “Preserve me, O God.”
He didn’t try to fix it. He didn’t fake strength. He didn’t reach for control. He reached for God.
That word—preserve—isn’t casual. It means guard me, shield me, hold me steady. It’s the cry of someone who knows their limits, someone who’s been pressed by life but still chooses trust over panic.
“In You I put my trust.” That’s not just a statement—it’s a transfer. It’s saying, I’m not the one holding this together anymore. You are.
You may not know what’s coming this week. The future might look foggy, the details uncertain. But this verse gives you permission to stop rehearsing your fears and start releasing them. The same God who preserved David through caves, betrayal, and heartbreak is holding you right now. He hasn’t lost track of you. You’re not forgotten in the shuffle of the world’s chaos.
So breathe. God doesn’t just save you once—He preserves you daily. Moment by moment. Storm by storm.
When the winds rise, hide in Him. He is your safe place. Your steady ground. And He will not fail you.
Trust isn’t weakness—it’s warfare. And today, you fight by resting in the arms of the One who never lets go.
Prayer for May 26, 2025
Father, I come to You not with strength, but with need. I don’t know what’s ahead, but I trust You to walk me through it. Preserve me when I feel overwhelmed. Guard my heart when fear whispers loud. Be my refuge, my hiding place, my strength. Help me rest in You—not just in theory, but in real, everyday trust. Thank You for holding me when I can’t hold myself. In Jesus’ name, amen.
